Nov. 29th, '62

Still in camp;
nothing unusual
occurred to-day to
relieve the monot-
ony of camp life,
to me it is quite a-
greeable as it af-
fords me an op-
portunity of resting
my feet.
Battalion drill, &
dress parade this
afternoon.

Still in camp.
Maj. Moore & I went
to the city to-day;
were in the State
House; it is a mag-
nificent structure,
but, I think, does
not equal our own
state House.
Gen'l Negley certain-
ly deserves credit
for the manner
in which he has
fortified the city.


Major James W. Moore, 97th Ohio
